I had a subcontractor that did not have workmans comp. One of his guys was teaching a new hire how to run a mini excavator. The new guy ran over his trainer. (really ugly story) the medical claims came back on us because we did not verify coverage.

We have had companies confirm we have coverage so that we are not impacting them and their coverage. It is important for anyone doing work for you or on your facilities that you make sure that they conform so that if there is an issue they don't try to use your Workman's Comp.

Is this normal practice in any leasing practice? I've never had that question asked in 10 years of doing this... John Woodfield Delmarva WiFi http://www.delmarvawifi.com cell (410) 708-1937
